One of the most terrifying Stories of the twentieth century, Shirley Jackson\'s The Lottery created a sensation when it was first published in The New Yorker in 1948.
Together they demonstrate Jackson\'s remarkable range--from the hilarious to the horrible, the unsettling to the ominous--and her power as a storyteller..
The Lottery and Other Stories , the only collection of Stories to appear during Shirley Jackson\'s lifetime, unites The Lottery with twenty-four equally unusual short stories.
Today it is considered a classic work of short fiction, a story remarkable for its combination of subtle suspense and pitch-perfect descriptions of both the chilling and the mundane.
Power and haunting, and nights of unrest were typical reader responses.
